I actually feel a little stupid at the moment. I had something planned for a while now - basically a news blog that puts a comedic skew on current stories trending across the media. It was going to be broadly political but now I just feel like I'll be copying OANST by releasing it, also I'll probably get lazy and give up after about a month like I did with my Tumblr blog which quickly fell into the mists of internet failure. Nevertheless, I'd like to share something I wrote and get people's opinions....

So, three months left before I grad-yee-ate from sixth form, can't wait to get out to be honest, leave behind the alcoholics, the fakers, the don't-give-but-takers. Any way, almost at the point where I'll be shipping off to university, providing I get the grades. I need AAB and I have AAC after improving upon my E in Microeconomics by a measly 6 UMS marks, effectively failing 1/2 my economics AS for a second time in a row....

Today I went on an ungodly trek up north into Leicester for a visiting day held for everyone accepted into the university. There were two objectives for today: number one, get a taste for the university and see if it really is the place for me. Number two, socialise with like-minded people and try to strike up a few friendships, god knows I could use some more friends that aren't always stoned or living outside of the country.

As a couple of people might or might not know, I am planning on going to university. Very, very excited about that because it's an opportunity to meet so many new, interesting people and actually learn something I'm interested in without having to do bull shit alongside it.

Minor set back, turns out I can't afford to go. Yay! Even with the loans I can get I'm still £15,000 short over the three years. Subsequently, it looks...

This was one of the best and worst years in recent-ish history. In March you have Claudette Colvin who refused to give her seat up to a white man on the bus. She was dragged from the bus, handcuffed, attacked and taken to the local police station. A good day for African-American civil rights in the USA. Probably a bad day for Ms Colvin.

In April, Churchill resigned from his position as PM due to ill health (as far as I remember) and never returned to politics.

So Boxing Day draws to a close and with it the end of the Christmas celebrations in the Wallace household. Whilst the cheese and cracker selection will no doubt last for a few more days (along with copious amounts of alcohol and cold meats), festivities are drawing to a close.

Christmas Day was somewhat quieter than normal, I couldn't sleep at all, partly down to it being Christmas Eve, partly because I was uncomfortable and partly because my cat...
